User blog:Brigadier Barty/A Rewrite of Redwall: Loamhedge

History is written by the victors
In this RPG, users will be tasked with a single goal- To together craft a new version of the Redwall tale known as Loamhedge.

History is written by the victors, and there is not a doubt in my young, lively heart that The Tales of Redwall are th same.

How else to explain the foolishness and ineptitude of the vermin, the scarce casualties and little villainy of the woodlanders, the sudden strokes of luck and the strange errors, mistakes and curiosities of the books? We shall recreate Loamhedge, which has often been seen as one of the weaker books, armed with our creativity and our visions of a greater story that could have been told.

This RPG, for all intents and purposes, is what really happened.

Keep note that this us not intended to insult or otherwise belittle the Redwall Series in any way; this is but a chance to immerse ourselves even further into the books, and discover all that could have happened in between the pages, written by a Recorder who only pieced together the story either through memory or through the words of those who were there. The Recorder coudn't possibly have been everywhere at once, nor could his informers have been. Therefore, much of the books could simply be pure creation on his or her part, be it for dramatic flair or to make one side better looking than the other. This RPG explores that idea.

ENJOY!

Rules

 * Follow Wikia Guidelines and the Rules put down by our great Badgerlord, Lord Bluestripe the Wild of Salamandastron.


 * We keep the very basics of the original plot- Martha Braebuck wants to bw able to walk; that and most if not all the original characters. The Recorders of yore couldn't have messed those two things up. You can also introduce your own original characters into the mix, but I ask that they be suitable for the timeline set in the original Loamhedge. 'Gates, you could go even further and create a completely new character if you'd like.

Also, keep in mind to treat wounds and react appropriately when you receive one. Unless you're Lonna Bowstripe, and he's completey immersed in the Bloodwrath, when you get hit by a blade or shot by an arrow, it hurts.
 * This RPG, being of events not edited and mucked by a Recorder, will be as realistic as the RWW Rules could possibly allow. Therefore, please keep an open mind and know that your character, like any real person in a Medievalesque setting, can die at any moment with the wrong step. If your character dies, simply take a moment to brokenly weep in sorrow and then create a new one. Even canon characters are not safe from this rule.

For example, "My character swings her sword at Rat 1." is a perectly legitimate comment. "My character cleaves Rat 1's head from his shoulders", on the other paw, is not.
 * Bragoon, Sarobando, Lonna Bowstripe, and Raga Bol are not to be seen as completely invincible. And neither can any of our characters be. Allow someone you attack to respond.


 * You can play ANY CANON CHARACTER, though multiple people wanting a certain character will result in a poll vote. You may also play multiple, but no more than two canon characters. They are also almost completely up to your own interpretation, as long as they're still sufficiently Redwally. And that means no 'headfur' and other shananagans.
